Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305 However , Michael was not ready to give up just yet .

He struggled to his feet , wiping blood from the corner of his mouth while silently cursing Finley for getting him into this mess .

He grabbed a nearby security guard and barked urgently , Quick use the stairs and warn Finley and Yvonne to escape through the back door ! The guard , startled by Michaels intensity , stumbled away toward the stairwell .

Afterward , Michael frantically tried calling Finley , but the phone was still off .

At least Atlas men would need some time to search all the rooms .

There was still a slim chance of avoiding disaster .

Meanwhile , Andrew , Dylan , and Natasha were seated at a cafe across from the hotel , calmly sipping their coffees Darling , your plan worked perfectly .

Atlas just stormed in with his men , Natasha said excitedly to Andrew .

Now we just sit back and enjoy the show ? Andrew set down his coffee with a smile .

Well enjoy the show alright , but first , we need to block all the escape routes at the back of the hotel .

Always thinking ahead , Mr.

Lloyd ! Dylan praised him with a thumbs up .

Natasha quickly summoned her people .

Get those reporters here now , she commanded .

Soon , over a dozen journalists with their equipment were rushing to help Andrews group secure the hotels rear exits .

When did you arrange for reporters ? Dylan asked , impressed .

Natasha shot Andrew a smug look .

Darling , youre clever , but Im no amateur either .

I had those reporters on standby before we even arrived .

Andrew chuckled .

Finley really had the worst luck crossing paths with someone as ruthless as you .

They dont call me the Black Widow for nothing , Natasha replied with a cold smile .

Catching cheaters is my specialty .

Meanwhile , in the hotel room , Finley jumped up in panic .

You hit it and quit it , huh ? Dont think Ill let you touch me again after this ! Finleys patience snapped as he slapped her across the face , his voice dropping into a growl .

You idiot ! Do you even realize whats happening ? Mr.

Giordano is downstairs right now ! Yvonnes face paled , but she stayed silent as Finley continued to seethe .

If we dont leave this second , its going to be your funeral literally .

And youre talking about next time ? Goddamn it , youve got to be kidding me .

Regret churned in Finleys gut like a storm .

Sure , the thrill of last night had been intoxicating , but he was paying for it in the worst way possible .

It had been fun while it lasted , but the consequences were proving far deadlier than he had ever imagined .
